Hmm no I didn't reinstall vita shell after? I just copied config file from ux0 tai to ur0 tai (config) then deleted just the config file do i need to delete the full ux0:tai folder?
I've got the 2000 model but a bit lost what u mean 1gb internal? I've got a 8gb vita card in and now my new micro sd card
Sorry if I'm being thick I'm new to all this hacking
If you didnt have to reinstall vitashell then 'all' homebrew bubbles were not missing after you moved to the sd2vita, so we need to confirm if your sd2vita is even being mounted as ux0:
You're seeing vitashell but not other homebrew bubbles.
If the microsd wasnt formatted correctly then it wouldn't be mounted at all so the vita would either not boot or you'd see your normal 8gb vita card and its contents.
If the microsd is formatted correctly, you transferred files over and have the gamesd set up correctly then it's very odd that vitashell would appear but no other bubbles.
What bubbles exactly are missing? Only nonpdrm games?
What size does vitashell show for ux0? The size of your microsd or still 8GB?
Which gamesd plugin are you using? If you have the wrong one it's possible your microsd is being mounted as umao: not ux0. Personally I use the original plugin that just mounts the microsd as ux0: (

When a hacked vita boots taihen looks for ux0:tai/config.txt, if its found it will process that file and never look for ur0:tai/config.txt. We want it to use ur0:tai/config.txt.
ux0 (memory card) can be one of several things: an actual vita memory card, 1GB of internal storage that vita 2000s will use if no vita memory card is inserted, or, after the gamesd plugin loads, the microsd in the sd2vita becomes ux0.
To ensure the vita processes ur0:tai/config.txt you need to make sure it cant find ux0:tai/config.txt:
If you are leaving the vita memory card inserted while using the sd2vita, then boot up without the sd2vita inserted and make sure there is no ux0:tai folder
If you arent leaving the vita memory card in then boot up the vita without the sd2vita or actual vita memory card inserted and ensure there is no ux0:tai folder
